Must the the image path be in the ckfinder directory?

I am testing out ckfinder (ASP.NET version) and I cannot get it to work if the Basedir and BaseUrl is not somewhere in the ckfinder directory.

UPDATE:
Actually I cant even get it to work if the userfiles is in the ckfinder directory

I have checked permissions mulitple times on userfiles read write all enabled. I have the images, files , _thumbs directory all with read write permissions for IUSR. I get the browse screen to come up but it doesnt show any images in the directory and if I try an upload it returns an unknown error. Is there anything else that needs to be configured? Im on .net 2.0

These are my settings
BaseUrl = "/images/page_image/userfiles/";

BaseDir = "";

actual url images
http://www.mysite.com/images/page_image/userfiles/

url of ckfinder
http://www.mysite.com/ckfinder/

Re: Must the the image path be in the ckfinder directory?

The short answer answer is "no". Path to "userfiles" directory may be located outside the "ckfinder" directory.
It looks to me like a permission issue. Assuming that you're using the default resource type configuration (resource types are pointing into subfolders: "files", "images", "flash"), try creating manually the "images" subfolder ("/images/page_image/userfiles/images/") and copy there a sample .jpg file.
If you can see this file in the "Images" resource type, then it means that you need to correct permissions for this directory to be able to upload files.
If you can't see this file, try setting BaseDir to the correct absolute server path ("C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/userfiles/" for example).
